So last night I did a clean install to Win10 Education (got a key from my school system). I would've liked to stay on Windows 7 pro, but I messed up my c drive so bad that I couldn't upgrade to windows 10 pro or repair install windows 7 without getting a fatal error. Anyway, do I need to reinstall all of my drivers for my mobo and the likes on Win10 (mobo website doesnt have all the drivers listed for win10 as they did with win 7) or should I let windows search and install the drivers for me (it did it with my network card) and just fill in the gaps?

I used the latest drivers I could find for my mobo from ASUS website, latest drivers where for Win 8.1 only. I could not install then using the downloaded executable as it complained about unsupported OS version. I got around this by installing them via Device Manager worked fine.

Ended up doing a lot of research before doing it. I fixed my driver issues after a few days. Thanks. Will be checking out the guide anyway.
